CASE STUDY

The Challenge

Being first on the market with a high-speed optical product can make all the difference. When there’s so much competition, mere weeks or months can be the difference between a successful product launch and multiple orders, or a failed investment.

To reduce risk and gain competitive advantage throughout the new product introduction (NPI) phase, Opnext tapped Averna’s optical and test expertise to ensure the smooth development and deployment of multiple state-of-the-art test stations and centralized test-data management.
